Install the app on a Windows computer, point it at the cameras you already have, and count people, queues and vehicles live. The video stays on site; only the numbers reach your dashboards. Try it free for 14 days.
An event pass for one event, or always-on for a venue with a 14-day free trial. Your card is taken securely by Stripe.
Install CrowdSense Desktop on a Windows PC on the same network as your cameras. About 168 MB.
Tell us the computer’s name, your cameras and who needs a login. A person checks the account and switches your feeds on, usually the same business day.
Sign in to the app, add each camera, draw the lines and zones, and the counts reach your dashboards, alerts, reports and API.
Every camera is analysed on your own computer. What leaves the building is a line of text: a count, a line crossed, a zone joined. No video, no images, nothing that identifies a person, and no facial recognition.
That also means a thin or patchy internet link is fine. A 4G modem on a festival site carries the numbers from dozens of cameras.
Version 3.7.17. One feed is one camera stream. These are the engine’s published figures for 1080p streams.
Each video channel runs as its own Windows process. No Windows sign-in is required to keep it running.
The pictures stay on the machine. Only events (line crossed, zone joined, and the like) leave the site, so a thin or unstable link still works.
A live view and a recent-events list sit next to the stream, so lines and zones can be set and checked on site without waiting on the cloud.

Version 3.7.17, 168 MB, 64-bit. The app installs free; your feeds switch on once the account is activated.
Sixteen ways the same app is used, from festival gates to car parks.
One camera stream analysed by the app. Four cameras at a gate are four feeds. A camera that sends two streams counts once if only one is analysed.
An event runs up to 5 days, at one primary location where people gather, under one name and branding. A series of events, or events at several locations, are several events. You can set the location up as early as 12 months before; the feeds go live 14 days before the first day and the dashboards stay readable for 3 months after the last.
Choose always-on with up to 4 feeds. Stripe takes your card and charges nothing today. On day 15 the plan starts at the price you chose, unless you cancel first from your account page. Event passes are paid when you book them.
Because the app analyses live cameras, we check that the business is real, that a card is on file, and that the computer can carry the feeds, before we switch them on. It is usually done the same business day.
No. The video is analysed on your own computer and only the numbers (counts, line crossings, zone events) are sent to the CrowdSense cloud. Nobody is identified, and there is no facial recognition.
Any IP camera that streams RTSP, and any webcam. ONVIF helps the app find cameras on the network but is not required. If you have no cameras, we hire Vision Nodes and crew for events.
A 64-bit Windows 10, 11 or Server PC whose processor supports AVX2. As a guide, an Intel Core i5 with 16 GB of memory runs 5 to 10 feeds on the AI profiles; an i9 with 64 GB and an RTX graphics card runs 30 or more.
Yes. Always-on plans cancel from your account page and stop at the end of the period you have paid for. An event pass is for one event and is not refunded once its feeds have gone live.
Prices on this site are in Australian dollars and exclude GST; GST is added at checkout. More than 50 feeds, a series of events, or a council or venue portfolio: talk to us for one account and one invoice.
